ZSearch Overview

What is ZSearch?

ZSearch is ZBrain’s AI-powered, enterprise-grade, vector-based search solution built specifically for searching across private enterprise data. Organizations can connect internal data sources (such as Google Drive, SharePoint, CRMs, and other repositories) and enable employees to search across this data securely within a single interface. The core idea behind ZSearch functions like an enterprise equivalent of Google Search, but operates strictly within organizational data boundaries, respecting permissions and access controls

ZSearch unifies knowledge spread across enterprise systems such as Google Drive, Slack, Jira, GitHub, CRMs, wikis, and local file systems into a single, intelligent search experience. By combining traditional keyword search with semantic and natural language understanding, it enables employees to find precise, contextually relevant information quickly and with confidence.

Beyond retrieval, ZSearch serves as a knowledge discovery and collaboration layer. Teams can explore information, ask questions in natural language, and work together on curated sets of content—while strict security, access controls, and compliance requirements are enforced at every step.

How ZSearch works

ZSearch delivers intelligent enterprise search by securely unifying organizational knowledge and making it accessible through AI-driven understanding and relevance. It follows a proven enterprise search pipeline—connect, process, index, and retrieve—enhanced with modern AI and enterprise-grade security to ensure results are accurate, current, and permission-aware.

Connecting enterprise knowledge

ZSearch securely integrates with the tools your teams already use—documents, collaboration platforms, ticketing systems, and databases—bringing all enterprise knowledge into a single search experience without disrupting existing workflows.

Automatically understanding and organizing content

Ingested content is analyzed to understand context, structure, and meaning. Relevant metadata and relationships are captured in the background, enabling discovery based on intent and relevance rather than keywords alone.

Keeping enterprise knowledge continuously up to date

ZSearch continuously syncs and indexes new and updated content, ensuring search results always reflect the latest state of enterprise knowledge—without manual effort or operational overhead.

Enabling natural language search with precise results

Users can search using keywords or natural language questions. ZSearch applies hybrid retrieval and intelligent ranking to surface the most relevant results quickly, with clear context and source transparency.

Turning search results into shared knowledge

Search results can be grouped into collaborative project workspaces, where teams explore curated content together. Each workspace includes an AI chatbot that answers questions strictly based on the selected materials—supporting focused research, reviews, and decision-making.

Secure by design

Across every step, ZSearch enforces enterprise-grade access controls and respects source-level permissions. All results and AI-generated responses are permission-aware, ensuring security, compliance, and trust by default.

Key capabilities of ZSearch

Natural language search and intelligent retrieval

ZSearch supports both keyword and natural-language queries through hybrid retrieval, interpreting user intent to deliver contextually relevant results—even when exact terms are not used.

Smart ranking

A hybrid scoring approach balances keyword relevance with contextual meaning. Signals such as relevance, recency, and contextual importance work together to surface the most useful and trustworthy results first.

Targeted content discovery

Advanced filtering allows users to refine results by data source, content type, author, and recency—making it easy to focus on the most relevant information within large datasets.

Semantic understanding and continuous indexing

ZSearch continuously syncs and embeds enterprise data into its retrieval index, ensuring search results remain accurate, context-aware, and up to date as knowledge evolves.

Collaborative project workspaces

Users can group multiple search results into shared project workspaces. Each workspace includes a dedicated AI chatbot that answers questions strictly based on the selected content, making ZSearch ideal for focused research, document drafting, audits, and case reviews.

Projects are fully shareable, enabling teams to collaborate, explore insights together, and build shared understanding from curated enterprise knowledge.

Secure, permission-aware access

ZSearch enforces enterprise-grade access controls across all connected systems. It respects source-level permissions and Access Control Lists (ACLs), ensuring users only see content they are authorized to access.

The platform supports enterprise identity integration, comprehensive audit logging, and alignment with major compliance frameworks including SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and ISO 27001:2022.
